Proposal ID: AST-0243677Institution: AUI/National Radio Astronomy ObservatoryPI: Hibbard, JohnThe National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) will continue their Summer Research Experience in Astronomy for Undergraduates (REU) and Teachers (RET). Both students and teachers will be recruited nationally. Each summer 18 undergraduate participants will be placed at one of the four NRAO sites (Socorro, New Mexico; Green Bank, West Virginia; Charlottesville, Virginia; and Tucson, Arizona) for a period of 10 to 12 weeks. Four teacher participants will be placed in either Socorro or Green Bank for a period of eight weeks. During their appointment, the participants will work with staff advisers on a project in the staff adviser's area of expertise. Students and teachers alike will take part in a summer lecture series introducing them to the fundamentals of radio astronomy and to current topics in astronomical research. Teachers will also take part in teacher workshops and participate in weekly educational sessions to develop classroom activities which make use of their research experience at the NRAO. At the conclusion of their appointment, participants will produce both an oral and written report of their work, and will have the opportunity to present their results at the winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society. During the following school term, teachers will field-test their curricula and send revisions to NRAO staff so that they can be disseminated to past and future RET participants and teachers in other venues.

国家射电天文台（NRAO）将继续其本科生（REU）和教师（RET）的暑期天文学研究经验。学生和教师都将在全国范围内招聘。每年夏天，18名本科生参与者将被安排在四个NRAO地点之一（新墨西哥州索科罗、西弗吉尼亚州格林班克、弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔和亚利桑那州图森），为期10至12周。四名教师参与者将被安排在Socorro或Green Bank进行为期八周的研究。在任命期间，参与者将与工作人员顾问就工作人员顾问专门领域的一个项目进行合作。学生和老师都将参加夏季系列讲座，向他们介绍射电天文学的基础知识和天文学研究的当前主题。教师还将参加教师讲习班，并参加每周的教育会议，以开发利用他们在NRAO的研究经验的课堂活动。在任命结束时，参与者将提交一份口头和书面的工作报告，并有机会在美国天文学会的冬季会议上展示他们的成果。在下一个学期，教师将实地测试他们的课程，并将修订后的课程发给NRAO的工作人员，以便将这些课程分发给过去和未来的RET参与者以及其他场所的教师。
